In this sutra, The Samantabhadra Perfection of Wisdom ( Skt. Samantabhadraprajñāpāramitā; Tib. འཕགས་པ་ཤེས་རབ་ཀྱི་ཕ་རོལ་ཏུ་ཕྱིན་པ་ཀུན་ཏུ་བཟང་པོ་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ།, Wyl. sherab kyi pha rol tu phyin pa kun tun bzang po theg pa chen po’i mdo), in a retreat place in Magadha, the Buddha Shakyamuni and the bodhisattva Samantabhadra, surrounded by many bodhisattvas, perform miracles in a state of meditative absorption. The bodhisattva Samantabhadra asks the Buddha to distinguish between two levels of the perfection of wisdom. In response, the Buddha Shakyamuni gives definitions of these two levels.

It is one of five prajñaparamita sutras associated with five bodhisattva figures, namely, Suryagarbha, Candragarbha, Samantabhadra, Vajrapani, and Vajraketu. [1]
